I'm holding the cutest little Eb horn in my hand (not really--I'm typing). I've never had one of these to mess with before. I was just visiting my friendly local repair shop to have a Kooiman thumbrest put on my R13, and I remarked to the repair man that they had included two base plates--they must have been trying to sell me an "A" horn. I said I didn't need an A horn, but I wouldn't mind one of those cute little Eb jobs. He said, "I've got one. Here try this. I'm not going to tell you anything about it. See what you think. I don't want much for it." So here I am, wondering what I'm thinking. The mouthpiece is irreparably damaged, and it seems to have adjustment problems, but I can actually play it somwhat with the one Rico #2 reed that came with it. It has a small, pinched tone in the clarion register, though it speaks pretty well in the lower register, and has a couple of bad notes, low G (Bb concert I think) is stuffy--probably insufficient clearance on a lower pad, but I can lip it into tune and play it. I can't criticise its playing too harshly--I've never played one before, and this couldn't be called an optimal test. I'm surprised it plays at all. the serial number is #263198. Czecko-Slovakia is written on the bell beneath all the other information. Does anyone know anything about these? How does it rate? What would a fair price be? It doesn't appear to have been played much.
